My daughter has a 2017 Clio Diesel Mk4 1.5 Dci 90hp and it has a fault that's proving a git to get rid of: on TORQUE its P0096 DTC Error I have changed the MAP (pressure sensor) and the MAF (air flow with combined IAT temperature) with new parts and cleared the DTC error code successfully and...

I had a TS410 with flywheel crankcase cracked and deciced to replace it after find the right part on Ebay. Took everything apart but now seem to be impossible to push the new crankcase into the crankshaft bearing. Tried to freeze the bearing and warm up the crankcase but still no way to go in...

I got this disc cutter off Ebay in a box completely apart I have to say that I have never seen this disc cutter running. I found out piston ring was missing and took me a month to get one in stock. Assembled the saw. Started at first pull but I'm having hard time to tune it. And while left...

Hi Everyone. I was given a non worker Stihl Edge trimmer and due of this cold weather, I decided to take it apart during the weekend. Compression test was 75psi. I then decide to remove the cylinder to see inside the condition and found a nice score starting from the bottom to the below of...

Does anyone know the compression (PSI) for the stihl engine when they are new condition? Going to view a professional chainsaw which they say does not work and only fuel needed. Sound strange as everyone can put fuel and try. Got compression reading tool and if allowed can try but not sure what...

Hi all, I bought an Astra J 2011 plate in Feb, after only a few weeks the car failed on me resulting in an engine replacement, as this was a private sale I was told by Citizens Advise the seller was not responsible due to 'sold as seen'. Since the engine replacement, I have had 2 water leaks and...

Make: Vauxhall Model: Astra j Engine size/Type: 1.7 CTDI ECOFLEX Year: 2011 Mileage: 98k Hello, My Astra makes a squealing noise on cold start ups. The sound comes from under the hood and dissipates after 5 minutes. I believe it could be linked to one of the belts. Just wondering if anyone...

Hi, I have mk6 golf TDI 2010 At around 100k miles I started having this problem where the car struggles to start. Almost sounds like it's mis firing (it's not a petrol though) When I start the car it sound like it is running off 3 cylinders but after a short period of time it runs...

Hi Everyone! Hope someone on here can help.... I've had this high pitch humming/whistling noise coming from my engine. It happens when I accelerate at a certain point usually heard in the first 3 gears. (noise still is heard when pressing the clutch in) it is also heavily noticeable after...

I've been given a Mk6 Fiesta (2003) 1.4 petrol Duratec. It's done 83k and has had a new clutch, oil and service within the last 4k miles. Unfortunately it was taken off the road in October 2016 and left on my parents drive for over two years. It was occasionally started to keep things...

Hi, My polo has caused me problems from day one and I was wondering if it was maybe time with me to part with it... The current issue at the moment is my engine management light has come on (this is the third time in about 4 months), I have had my front O2 sensor changed twice in that time and...

Hi all - the wife has a 2003 16v 1.2 Clio mk2 and I just want to ask a question about the solenoid valve that goes into the carbon filled canister behind the front drivers side wheel (its behind the drivers side headlamp) Should this solenoid valve make a noise like a fast popping (like a...

Just a few pics that I took the other day; is it your bog standard generator control panel or is it quite specialised? Don't know anything about the history of it, whether it works, etc... as it was just in a warehouse that I was in briefly moving tables into for long term storage purposes...

So like a typical dick head I decided to try and service my car myself, and I've made all the typical dick head mistakes you'd expect from someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Non the less, I intend to learn for next time. So when I got around to changing the oil. Removed the old oil...

Recently bought 2004 Ford Ka. Few small issues but nothing major. Last day or two noticed a whine when in lower gears/slower speeds, and occasionally when idle. Whine similar to reversing whine. Have a small oil leak but unsure whether that would be an issue? Thanks in advance

This was found on a car my mum purchased. No one seams to have a clue what it is! The car is a Citroen piccaso 1.6ltr Many thanks

I've got a brush cutter as above. Some years old now but has been running fine. Stupidly, I left fuel in it for some time while not using it, and inevitably it gave problems. Started fine, and ran OK after a bit of spluttering. Started using it, fine, then after about 20 minutes the revs would...

I have a self propelled petrol mount-field lawnmower that I have had since 2004, and for the first time last week it would not stop when the throttle was let go. I had to push the throttle cable in by hand very hard to just about stop it. At first I thought it stops by friction from the pad...
